The cunts of humanity that are frequently seen in public...

Those would be the jackholes that moved here from California when housing was cheap. There's no worse driver on Earth than the Californian-in-Exile.

Native Arizonans know how to drive very well, thank you very much, and very much wish the rest of you non-drivin' mongoloids would go back home where you came from.

I'm a big advocate for traffic controls (lanes, stoplights, etc) in grocery store aisles.

No grocery police, though, because I'd get speeding tickets.

People that come up and ask if you're busy when you're already obviously helping someone already, especially if it involves lifting something heavy.

I was at the store last night, and this lady stopped right in the middle if the aisle, and began staring at the canned goods. I said "excuse me", and got no response. I then pushed her cart out of my way, to which she responded by saying, "don't touch my stuff". I politely said, "you don't want me to touch your cart? Then get the fuck out of my way, dipshit.". She had very little to say after that.

I have problems with the local Asian cunt community, here. The old ladies on the bus seem to think that their bag of veggies and other Asian crap deserves a seat, not you. I routinely push that shit on the floor, after my "excuse me" gets ignored. I once got pushed out of the way by an old Asian lady while getting on the bus. I picked her up by her shoulders, and moved her to a position behind me. The bus driver was quite amused.

He, he, he...

Wide eyed discussions about the most mundane products. Like, I buy my breakfast at a little chain bakery. There is a queue every morning. And since I live in one of Vienna's more hip districts, there will be the wide eyed hipster right in front of me at least twice a week. You know the type, suspenders, beard, retro style standard uniform, sooooo alternative and yet so much in line with how 'alternative' has to look like.

Anyway, they'll pester the clerks with questions. What grain is in this bread, is there something that can trigger their quadzillion intolerances du jour, what was the moon phase when the bread was baked, was there Mozart playing in the silo or North Korean mathcore prog neoblues and whatnot. Behind them, the queue (people who don't work as social media consultants out of the next Starbuck's) is grumbling and getting ready for a lynching. In front of them, the underpaid and overworked sales clerks just don't know all that shit. But the hipsters won't stop. They'll involve other sales people. They will ask for the manager to answer their questions.

They'll clog the whole system for 10, 15 minutes. They'll feign interest with wide eyes and open mouths. In reality, they're just being self important twats and they love it.

Grocery stores? How about two entire families running into each other and deciding to have a long walk down memory lane, blocking the entire aisle like they own the fucking store?

I hate glutards. Listen up people, your "gluten allergy" doesn't exist. You aren't allergic to gluten. You might be allergic to wheat, but the percentage of the population in the U.S. that truly has celiac disease is 1%. You don't have it. What you have is a fat ass or an obsession with losing weight. I can think of a lot of other ways to lose weight. Stop making cooks around the country cater to your specific diet that involves making shit that's not even remotely close to what's on the menu. Seriously, it drives us all insane. If you're too much of a pussy to eat what's on the menu, then go the fuck somewhere else or starve to death for all I care. I'm, no, we are sick of catering to everyone's specific dietary or allergenic needs.

Furthermore, if you do have a specific allergy like say shellfish,DON'T ORDER THE GOD DAMN SHELLFISH! YOU CAN'T EAT IT! If you fail to make the cook aware of your very real allergy and you are too stupid to ask any questions or read the menu and you don't carry around one of those needles, you'll get no sympathy from me when you have to be rushed to the hospital. As a matter of fact, I'll probably laugh my ass off because you are the shit-stain of society.

Rant over.

I sincerely doubt that to be true. Around here the DMV always reminds people at renewal time that slower traffic must pull right, the State puts up tons of signs saying "slower traffic must pull right", and even if you are just listening to traffic updates on the radio the announcers frequently remind people that the fast lane is for passing and that you should stay out of it unless you are passing.

It is just part of motoring culture here, especially in Southern California, and it is considered part of good motoring etiquette. SoCal has a very car based culture and good driving is part of that so it is pounded into people constantly. Go to L.A. and flash your high beams at someone in the fast lane and 9 times out of 10 they will quickly move over to let you pass. Do the same in Arizona and 9 times out of 10 you get... Nothing. I am willing to bet the 1 in 10 who does know that rule and who actually does pull right probably are the Californian expats in Arizona.

Sorry. I've driven in California and Arizona enough to know that you're talking nonsense.

Those things piss me off too. The people who walk in the bike lane when there is a perfectly good side walk complete with signs asking pedistrians to please use the side walk. Then there are the folks at the supermarket who leave their cart dead in the middle of the aisle while they take 5 minutes to compare which brand of potato chips they want pretending they don't notice the six other shoppers waiting for them to stop blocking the aisle.

Japanese people culturally don't do that sort of stuff. Yes, you can complain about them being compulsive rules followers but, damn it, their rules work and they generally don't have these problems.

I can't stand self-important cunts in suits on public transit who think they're better than everyone else. On the very odd occasion where I've had to degrade myself by taking the subway, I just look at these poor fuckers and laugh.

Because if they were really important, they wouldn't be taking public transit in the first place.

People who are gluten intolerant are well aware that they're not celiacs. People who get their medical "information" from stand-up comedians are another category that pisses me off.

Traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic, traffic. My area is exploding - I live 8 miles from where I work. Ten years ago the commute was 8 mins. Five years ago it was 15 mins. Now its 45 goddamn minutes. And SOOOO many shitty drivers. An old asian man t-boned my wife's car in an intersection, than tried to bluff his way through it, no doubt expecting the courts here to act like the ones at home where if you female its automatically your fault. He learned his lesson, but that shouldn't have been necesary. Today a guy in a work van cut me off to block an off ramp into a shopping center because I was letting traffic through the intersection - when we were at a red light. His windows were down and he got some choice invectives from me. The guy behind me pulled up on the right hand side to make a right turn and said, 'Guess where that guy comes from they don't understand not to block traffic.'

Then I'm finishing my business at the drug store, pull out, and a guy runs a stop sign and comes within a foot of my car. I am SO fucking ready to move.

Shut up, garamet.

No u, Face.

You're just people intolerant. There are treatments for that.

This is both pathetically sad and desperately cuntful.

Hi WAB! I know you're reading this! Giss a kiss!

How I wish it were so. But my dumb brother-in-law was told by a doctor to cut gluten out of his diet just to see whether it was a cause for his digestive issues. He then spent six months loudly proclaiming that he had been diagnosed with celiac disease, making all sorts of demands. Of course, there was no such diagnosis, nor even a gluten intolerance diagnosis. Ultimately, it must have been something else, since he now eats gluten with abandon.

You know, I initially responded 'teh baba,' but then it occured to me I like Baba.

And this just deserves a 'piss off, you pathetic American wannabe.'

You live in Seattle, too?

Fuck off with your Canada envy. Anyway, isn't it about time for you to piss your skirt and run off the board again in a hissy fit? Maybe you and El Chump can get married, now that the Leprechauns have legalized it.

Mods: why do threads from ignored posters show up on the main page?

People get information from their doctor almost always blow it up. I think there's e weird desire for people to be a part of clubs, even if it's cancer. Sorry bub, not me. People with dietary restrictions that are self imposed or are misinformed need to fuck off and cook their own food. In other words, if you don't like it, you can get out.

Awww, does the little internet warrior feel like he isn't being taken seriously? Its OK diddums, Canada is a forgiving place. Not like the big, mean world outside.

The other day I was in Walmart because I was feeling masochistic, and there was this woman there with two kids. One was a baby, and the other was a boy who was about four or five. The older kid was whining about wanting a toy and the woman kept telling him "no." The kid became more persistent, she slapped him, and then raised her voice, telling him to shut up and behave. I don't like it when people bully weaker individuals, so I calmly asked her not to treat her child in such a way while in my presence. She told me not to tell her how to raise her kids, and suggested I go fuck myself.

It occurred to me that there was a problem with communication, and a few moments later I figured out how to resolve it. Her kid was being an annoying brat, and she slapped him. Now, the woman was being an annoying brat, so I slapped her, hoping she'd realize the error of her ways and apologize to me. Instead of that, she lost her shit and started screaming at me, so I slapped her again and told her to shut up an behave. The five-year-old started laughing so I high-fived him, and told him to go pick out a toy and I'd buy it for him.

The woman was sobbing and doing something on her phone, and mumbling something about "not getting away with this." She was right, she's not getting away with this. Then the baby started crying. Before she could slap the baby, I picked it up and threw it into a nearby trash can, because crying babies are useless, and useless things belong in the garbage.

The other kid came back with a Star Wars Lego set that cost over $100, so I told him to put it back and get something more reasonably priced, but that I didn't blame him for trying to get the most out of my offer. Then the police showed up. I expected them to arrest the woman for being an unfit parent and to award me at least three medals for my selfless act of heroism, but instead they arrested me and charged me with assault and child endangerment. I don't get it, the woman must be a relative of the chief of police or something. The Detroit Police are notoriously corrupt. I'm not too concerned. I'm sure the judge will be reasonable, dismiss the charges, award me some medals, and order the woman to pay restitution for wasting my time. If not, I'll slap him and demand the case be dismissed. Slapping people has worked out well for me so far.

There are tests to screen for food sensitivities. The Big Four are gluten, dairy, eggs, and soy. If gul's brother-in-law's doctor had screened him for gluten, that would be one thing. But, as you suggest, Dumbass probably heard "Why don't you try cutting gluten out of your diet?" - without anyone bothering to test him - and jumped to all the wrong conclusions.

Yeah, gluten's become the new "kewl thing" among some people. That doesn't mean it isn't a very real problem for others.

The problem is most people are probably like @gul's brother in law and make the world that much more miserable for the rest of us. They are the ones I consider glutards. Then you have the hipsters who think it's cool, but know nothing about it. And then there's people who are in a diet and deliberately lie so that they can get their way. These people need to die in a fire.

@Demiurge

You can't screen for non celiac gluten sensitivity. There are no biomarkers for it.

I figured it was like a scratch test.
